Out of nowhere my whole huge blasto colony died, one polyp at a time. Now I see little baby blastos forming on the old skeleton. What the heck?

Possibly something similar to asexual reproduction seen in Fungia corals:

'Fungia or mushroom corals display an unusual form of asexual reproduction; the formation of numerous daughter polyps from a dying parent polyp known as anthocauli. This strategy serves as a last resort, and ensures the survival of the individual (photograph: Jorick Hameter).'

can't ID with so much blue light. change the spectrum of your light if you can before you take the photo, or shine a flashlight on it
